I'm certainly not a sharpie, but I believe all you would have to do would be to add a footer with links. One link to John Cottingham's PIENO and one link to Janet's web page. There are 3 parts to a message, at least in everything I have set up, header, body and footer. From what I can see we have always left off the footer so persons with large signature files would not exceed the size allowed for the body of the message. . Maybe they would be willing to cut their signature files down to not take up so much bandwidth, and leave room for an instructional footer? just me, Marjorie At 02:50 PM 11/14/2000 -0500, you wrote: >A couple of other lists I am on append to each message a note on how to >unsubscribe that list.
